NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.11-marshmallow package and not the python3.11-marshmallow package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Marshmallow is a lightweight library for converting complex objects to and from simple Python datatypes. In versions from 3.0.0rc1 to before 3.26.2 and from 4.0.0 to before 4.1.2, Schema.load(data, many=True) is vulnerable to denial of service attacks. A moderately sized request can consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time. This issue has been patched in version 3.26.2 and 4.1.2.
